Well, this was the initial idea, but the hardware wasn't designed to
support it, and unfortunately, it is not an easy software thing (though
it does seem tham way, doesn't it?).  My suggestion?  Remove the little
button.  You can still turn it on and off, but you'll have a hard time
hitting it accidentally...  =)
